A diverse, historic neighborhood near the heart of D.C.
Striking Victorian architecture and walkable streets define LeDroit Park, a historic neighborhood located 2 miles from Downtown Washington, D.C. The neighborhood was originally developed to be an all-white residential enclave in the late 1800s, but in 1888, Black protesters tore down the fences that separated LeDroit Park and Howard University. By the mid-20th century, LeDroit Park had evolved into a thriving community of Black intellectuals and activists, though the area maintained much of its small-town energy. Today, neighbors still stroll down brick sidewalks and enjoy flowering gardens in an active, vibrant atmosphere. “Even though it’s a residential neighborhood, it’s always bustling with people. There are always people out walking dogs, bringing their kids to a neighborhood park or people from one neighborhood crossing through to go out for dinner,” says Justin Kitsch, a Vice President at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty who has lived in LeDroit Park since 2017. The community often gathers at the park or supports family-owned businesses, and locals are steps away from the restaurants in Shaw and Bloomingdale and the energetic presence of Howard University.

20th century Victorian homes
Originally designed to have a small-town, architecturally interesting feel in D.C., LeDroit Park still has a tranquil vibe despite its urban setting. “While of course a lot of people have put fences up, there is an ode to the original garden feel, and people take a lot of pride in their gardens,” Kitsch says. The LeDroit Park Historic District encompasses most of the neighborhood, and most properties were built in the early 20th century. Streets are lined with Queen Anne and Italianate rowhouses, and single-family Victorian homes are occasionally available. Condos in rowhouses start around $400,000, while townhouses cost between $600,000 and $1.4 million, depending on size and interior renovations. Single-family properties start at $1 million.

Garden, picnic and play at The Park at LeDroit
The community often gathers at The Park at LeDroit, a large public green space where kids can climb on the playground, locals can enjoy a picnic on the grass and pets can run around the LeDroit Dog Park. The LeDroit Park Community Garden is adjacent to the park and encourages neighbors to cultivate fresh produce. Locals can join a pickup basketball game at the Howard Playground or learn more about the Black activists and historical figures who helped to shape the community by following the “Worthy Ambition” signs along the LeDroit Park- Bloomingdale Heritage Trail.

Enjoy Latin American fare all day at The Royal
Residents can head to Florida Avenue for dining options close to home. The Royal is a go-to family-owned restaurant serving Latin American fare from breakfast to evening cocktails. If they’re craving a 1:00 a.m. slice after a Friday night out, residents can stop by Pizzarro. Locals won’t find big box stores or chains in this historic area, but small businesses fill the gap. “There’s a great little corner market called LeDroit Market at 4th and T Street if you need to run in and pick something up,” Kitsch says. To shop at a larger supermarket, residents can go to Whole Foods or Safeway, which are both under a mile away. Residents can go retail shopping in Downtown Washington, D.C., but most find amenities a comfortable stroll away. “Everything else you can walk to. My wife and I walk to the Red Hen, a couple blocks away in Bloomingdale, or we’ll go and meet friends for brunch at Shaw’s Tavern, which is a couple blocks away in the Shaw neighborhood,” Kitsch says.

Fresh produce from the community farmers market
Residents are close to D.C.’s iconic events, like the National Cherry Blossom Festival and the Downtown Holiday Market, but residents also gather for community activities. Locals find farm-fresh produce at the weekly farmers market, and kids learn about agriculture and the environment through the community garden’s LEAF youth program. There’s a LeDroit Park Block Party in September, and alumni gather for the Howard University Homecoming festivities in the fall.
Transportation STEM classes at Cardozo
Children may begin at Cleveland Elementary School and advance to Francis L. Cardozo Education Campus, a combined middle and high school. Both schools have B-minus ratings from Niche. Students at Cardozo can enroll in the TransSTEM Academy, where they can begin studying career skills needed for engineering, aviation, aeronautics and more. The Howard University College of Medicine building and the Howard University Hospital are also in the neighborhood. “Howard has some historic buildings in the neighborhood, and there are Howard students and faculty that live in the neighborhood,” Kitsch says. “They’re definitely a part of the community.”
